I agree, mclien, I definitely want my mother to use Puppy, she is a 70 something, very skilled web surfer, e-mail composer, IM and office tools user from argentina, and she won't go to heaven unless she quits using XP and joins the Puppy community.

Lobster, I'm available from now to translate to spanish as many Puppy aspects been possible to be translated. I don't know what translation plans the development team is considering, but I want to get involved on that.

The language support link on the wiki front page is all I know.
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LanguageSupport

People translate or work on other language support and if I come across it - I stick it in the language support but I speak english (just about) so it is not of that much concern to me. Puppy was always geared towards being in English.

Those interested in other languages will need to organise and co-ordinate. Perhaps leave a comment for others to contact you (comments can be left on each page - or on the page in a variety of languages . . .

Not sure how best to advise you . . .
Maybe others can help?_________________Puppy WIKI

I had a look at the link Lobster had provided but that doen't seem to be what I was looking for.

I wanted to know if something is being done to have Puppy Linux translated into other languages. I know that has a lot, if not only, to do with the individual applications (Sylpheed, etc.).
My interest about that, comes from two main reasons:

1 - Having Puppy translated into Spanish.
2 - What'd be the point of translating Puppy's Wiki pages into spanish if the actual Puppy couldn't work in spanish?

I don't mean only locales, because being able to type Ñ, ñ or áéíóú or to see those typos while reading something won't be enough, what I meant is: the whole of Puppy translated into other languages (spanish in my case).

I'm interested in joining any effort (or to start it if necessary) in order to make Puppy Linux fully i18n.

Not everyone shares the same interests - to find those interested in what you propose and organising is not easy.
You are already translating pages to Spanish. I would encourage that. We are spread quite thin. I would like to concentrate on development for Chinese and Eastern European languages and Japanese but I would also like to do loads of other stuff. I suggest you go as far as you can and keep an eye on the languages page and PM those who are also translating (you will have to look at the old wiki). Sorry translation is not one of my priorities, despite the fact it is very beneficial to Puppy . . .

I'm interested in joining any effort (or to start it if necessary) in order to make Puppy Linux fully i18n.

Any comments, references, advices, discouragements, etc., please?

Hi isn'tfunny.

A small idea that might work in translating to Spanish at least. Rather than starting over, so to speak, by translating Puppy from English to Spanish, why not get another distro that has already been translated into other languages, and cut out those items that Puppy doesn't have or use from the Spanish area, then modify the Spanish items to fit the Puppy equivalent. I think that Ubuntu and Knoppix would be good bets getting started. It would seem that this would cut the time required quite a bit.

I could pass around copies of Puppy that you have translated here in Costa Rica to friends and family for feedback if you like.

I would just have to know where to go to download the copy in Spanish.
